loud universe is loud
or why the water made me laugh (mostly)
“Once you make a decision, the universe conspires to make it happen.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson—
I was walking around town on the last full morning, trying to pick up a few more things to bring home with me. Frangipani oil, rose oil, and maybe a few more fun pieces of clothing.
I looked at my phone to see the message no one wants to see when they’re 15 time zones away: your apartment is filled with water and sewage.
Sigh.
Just a few days ago, I learned I was moving to another country.
It wasn’t a surprise; it was a confirmation of hard work, a special request to move the arrival date, and magick.
Fate, too.
I wanted this so badly, stressed about it, hoped about it, dreamed about it, talked about it as though it were already happening long before I took actual steps to make it reality.
And then it arrived in an email while I was eating breakfast, after I casually thought to myself that it would be cool if I found out on the new moon.
And I did.
In time, I will talk about all of the synchronicities that spanned years of eclipses, teaching, writing, heartbreak, rainbows, and love, but for now, I will notice the water on the floor.
How it cleared out things I was going to need to sell or donate or trash.
How my living room looks and sounds like it did when I first moved in into the first apartment on my own after my separation and divorce.
How the universe seems to be clearing the way for this big-big move, albeit a little ahead of the schedule I had in my mind.
But the way is clearing. It has been for months. And I trusted it.
I trusted it even in the days when I hated the speed of what seemed like ever-stillness.
The water comes, uninvited, but it comes rapidly to clear the way.
And while I’d rather be sleeping instead of scrubbing the floors, I laugh.
I asked for this clearing.
Make way for what’s next.
Make way for what my heart has sung to the stars. What the stars have sung to me.
Make it easier.
Make way.
In love and magick — Irisanya

I am so sorry you’re dealing with that kind of flooding in your apartment, but so glad you’re going international in a long term way. The drumbeat of go-go-go has been playing in my bones for the last year, but I haven’t found the right pathway yet…or it hasn’t found me. Blessings on your path, I hope it brings you so much joy!
